For the past three years, the government of Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos has worked to broker a peace deal with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), and has also continued its decades-long battle against drug production, trafficking, and organized crime. To better assess both the government’s progress and its overall drug policy strategy, the Santos administration established a Drug Policy Advisory Commission in 2013. The Commission recently released its final report, “Guidelines for a New Approach to Colombian Drug Policy.” The report discusses the trends in Colombian cocaine production and their impacts on the illicit economy, the costs of the drug war, and the growing problem of domestic drug use.
